Settling Across the Pond: Crawly Baby

So why am I writing this blog........?

This blog is a way for me to record and reflect upon my day to day life and all the changes that have happened to me over the past 2 years. In a nut-shell I moved from the rich, bustling streets of London to the sleepy suburbs of Washington DC all in the name of love. My biggest reward in this adventure has been the love of my wonderful husband and the birth of our beautiful daughter. However this transition is not and has not been an easy one; it's been filled with tremendous highs and devastating lows- all part of life's rich tapestry and part of my story that I want to share as a mother, wife and of course as an English girl settling into life across the pond.

Crawly Baby

Apologies that I haven't been a reliable blogger these past few weeks- since the big storm (which actually was a land hurricane) the internet connection at the Marina has been unreliable and every evening when I have sat down to share my news the connection has been down.

It's been a very exciting week for Tabitha.......after lots of shuffling and wriggling she has finally begun to crawl! Doug and I are both very excited and although we are celebrating her reaching this huge milestone I am also a little anxious, life will never be the same again. All of a sudden the boat seems even smaller and more intense, particularly as Tabitha follows me and is literally head-butting me in the ankle everywhere I go. She's just adorable and I am so proud of her. She has also begun to try to pull herself up on things so I'm sure that she will be walking before her first birthday.

Here's a clip of the little tyke in action:
